Here

Numb tab. This will
enable you to understand
the notation. I will
give recommendations
and tips so that you
can soundbetter!
Exercise
1: Comfortably
Numb tab first
solo
Here,
start of the first
solo by sliding to
the 14th fret it sounds
MUCH better, and then
hold on to it using
some tremolo then
mute the first string
with your finger and
pick the string where
it says 'X'. After
that, bend the string
at the 14th fret to
the sound of the 15th
fret within the brackets
(). Bend the 2nd string
15th fret to the sound
of the 17th fret.
Exercise
2: Comfortably
Numb tab first
solo
Start
of this part by giving
a string rake on the
first three strings
and then bend at the
14th fret enough to
the sound of a single
fret higher and then
release the bend to
the 14th fret. Immediately
after that you need
to bend the 2nd string
at the 15th fret.
You need to be quick
but with
time and practice
you will get there!
After
that you start the
next section by rapidly
moving lower down
the strings, firstly
hit the 15th fret
2nd string and then
you need to hit the
14th fret on three
consecutive strings
this is called legato To
do this you need to
roll your index finger
down the strings in
a press and release
fashion (Read more
on legato?).
Moving down the fret
board you do a half
bend at the 11th fret
4th string, finishing
at the 7th fret and
ending with a LARGE
bend at the 9th fret
with some tremolo. Alwayspractice
this slowly it
is not easy!
Exercise
3: Comfortably
Numb tab first
solo
OK,
You have done well
up to now. Now here
comes all the bends
and slides. Start
with a bend at the
9th fret 3rd string.
Release the bend down
and do the same again.
Easy!!!
Exercise
4: Comfortably
Numb tab first
solo
Ok,
its now time to
end to
the Comfortably
Numb tab. Start
by doing a string
rake. Then hit the
15th fret 1st string
andpull-off onto
the 14th fret, this
means hit the 14th
fret without picking
it and then hit
the 12th fret. Now,
with the 2nd string
same kind of thing,
hit the 15th fret
and pull-off to
the 12th fret. Moving
towards the last
few notes, hit the
9th fret 4th string
and hammer-on to
the 10th fret of
that string which
is the same as the
pull-off but instead
you are going up
the fret board,
different direction.
Finally, pull-off
to the 9th fret
and slide down to
the 7th fret of
that string
Exercise
5: Comfortably
Numb tab first
solo
The
last section, the
first part of this
starting from the
'BU' is the same as
the second section.
The bend involves
slides. Hit the 7th
fret 4th string, slide
up to the 9th fret
and down to the 7th
fret using some tremolo and
slide down the fret
board releasing your
finger at no set fret.
